2-9. Driving Tips
WARNING
■Driving with tire chains
● Chains may affect handling.
● Do not go faster than 30 mph (50 km/h) or the chain manufacture r’s rec-
ommended limit, whichever is lower.
● Drive carefully and avoid bumps, holes, and sharp turns.
● Avoid locked-wheel braking.
NOTICE
●Do not use chains on a temporary spare tire; it may result in d amage to the
vehicle and to the tire.
● Do not use chains on roads that are free of snow or ice. The ti res and
chains could be damaged.
● Chains may scratch or chip aluminum wheels.

3-6. ABS/TCS/DSC
Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
DSC operation is possible at speeds greater than 12 mph (20 km/h).
The warning light turns on when the system has a malfunction.
Refer to Contact Your Toyota Dealer and Have Vehicle Inspected on
P. 493.
The Dynamic Stability Control ( DSC) automatically controls
braking and engine torque in c onjunction with systems such as
ABS and TCS to help control si de slip when driving on slippery
surfaces, or during sudden or e vasive maneuvering, enhancing
vehicle safety.
Refer to ABS ( P. 215) and TCS ( P. 216).
WARNING
■Do not rely on the Dynamic Stabil ity Control as a substitute for safe
driving
The Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) cannot compensate for unsaf e and
reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following anothe r vehicle too
closely), and hydroplaning (reduced tire friction and road contact because
of water on the road surface). You can still have an accident.
NOTICE
● The DSC may not operate correctly unless the following are obse rved:
• Use tires of the correct size specified for your Toyota on all 4 wheels.
• Use tires of the same manufacturer, brand and tread pattern on all 4 wheels.
• Do not mix worn tires.
● The DSC may not operate correctly when tire chains are used or a tempo-
rary spare tire is installed because the tire diameter changes.

When Driving
WARNING
■Do not rely on the Low Speed Pre -Collision System as a substitute for
safer driving
The Low Speed Pre-Collision System cannot compensate for unsafe and
reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following anothe r vehicle too
closely), and driving on slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and icy roads
(reduced tire friction and road contact because of water on the road sur-
face). You can still have an accident.
■ Do not rely completely on the Low Speed Pre-Collision System
● The Low Speed Pre-Collision System is only designed to reduce d amage
in the event of a collision. Over reliance on the system leadin g to the
accelerator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly operated coul d result in
an accident.
● The Low Speed Pre-Collision System is a system which operates in
response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or
react to two-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
● The laser sensor for the Low Speed Pre-Collision System is inst alled near
the rearview mirror. To assure the correct operation of the Low Speed Pre-
Collision System, heed the following cautions.
• Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windshield near the laser sensor (including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser s ensor
may not be able to detect vehicles ahead which could result in an acci-
dent.
• Do not apply coating agent to the windshield. Otherwise, the l aser sen-
sor may not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions in front which
could result in an accident.
• Do not disassemble the laser sensor.
• If cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris is visib le near
the laser sensor, stop using the Low Speed Pre-Collision System
immediately and have your vehicle inspected by your Toyota deal er. If
the vehicle continues to be driven with cracks or scratch marks left on
the windshield near the laser sensor, the system may operate un nec-
essarily and cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping The Low Speed Pre-Collision System Operation on
P. 2 3 3 .
• When replacing the windshield wi pers or windshield, consult your
Toyota dealer.
● The laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow on the windshield. In such
cases, the system cannot accurately determine a vehicle ahead a nd may
not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay attention to
the road ahead.

2433-12. Tire Pressure Monitoring System
3
When Driving
NOTICE
●Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehi cle placard or tire inflation pressure
label. (If your vehicle has tires of a different size than the size indicated
on the vehicle placard or tire i nflation pressure label, you sh ould deter-
mine the proper tire inflati on pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS ) that illuminates a low tire pres-
sure telltale when one or more of your tires is significantly u nder-
inflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure telltale illuminates,
you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and i nflate
them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-i nflated
tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure. Under-infla-
tion also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may affect the
vehicle’s handling an d stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS is not a substitute for proper tire m ainte-
nance, and it is the driver’s r esponsibility to maintain correc t tire pres-
sure, even if under-inflation has not reached the level to trig ger
illumination of the TPMS lo w tire pressure telltale.
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS malfunction ind ica-
tor to indicate when the syste m is not operating properly.
The TPMS malfunction indicator i s combined with the low tire pressure
telltale. When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will flash
for approximately one minute an d then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle star t-ups
as long as the malfunction exists . When the malfunction indicator is
illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire
pressure as intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for a variety of
reasons, including the installation of replacement or alternate tires or
wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS from functioning pr operly.
Always check the TPMS malfunction telltale after replacing one or
more tires or wheels on your veh icle to ensure that the replacement or
alternate tires and wheels allow the TPMS to continue to functi on prop-
erly.
●To avoid false readings, the system samples for a little while before
indicating a problem. As a res ult it will not instantaneously register a
rapid tire deflation or blow out.

Maintenance and Care
Tires
Inspect all tire pressures monthly (including the spare) when the tires
are cold. Maintain recommended pressures for the best ride, han -
dling, and minimum tire wear.
Refer to the spec ification charts
(P. 5 5 3).
With tire pressure m onitoring system:
After adjusting the tire pressur e, initialization of the tire p ressure mon-
itoring system is necessary to m ake the system operate normally .
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitorin g System Initialization on P. 244.
For reasons of proper performan ce, safety, and better fuel econ-
omy, always maintain recommended tire inflation pressures and
stay within the recommended load limits and weight distribu-
tion.
WARNING
■Using Different Tire Types
Driving your vehicle with differ ent types of tires is dangerous . It could
cause poor handling and poor bra king; leading to loss of control.
Except for the limited use of the temporary spare tire, use onl y the same
type tires (radial, bi as-belted, bias-type) on all four wheels.
■Using Wrong-Sized Tires
Using any other tire size than wh at is specified for the vehicle (P. 5 5 3 )
is dangerous. It could seriously affect ride, handling, ground clearance,
tire clearance, and speedometer calibration. This could cause y ou to
have an accident. Use only tires that are the correct size spec ified for
the vehicle.
Tire Inflation Pressure

YARIS_YARIS HATCHBACK_OM_OM99V59z_(U)
●Always check tire pressure when tires are cold.
●Warm tires normally exceed recommended pressures. Do not releas e
air from warm tires to adjust the pressure.
●Underinflation can cause reduced fuel economy, uneven and accel er-
ated tire wear, and poo r sealing of the tire bead, which will d eform the
wheel and cause separat ion of tire from rim.
●Overinflation can produce a harsh ride, uneven and accelerated tire
wear, and a greater p ossibility of damage from road hazards.
Keep your tire pressure at the correct levels. If one frequentl y needs
inflating, have it inspected.
During rotation, inspect them for
correct balance.
WARNING
■Always inflate the tires to the correct pressure
Overinflation or underinflation o f tires is dangerous. Adverse handling or
unexpected tire failure could result in a serious accident.
Refer to Tires on (P. 553).
■Use only a Toyota-genuine tire valve cap
Use of a non-genuine part is dangerous as the correct tire air pressure
cannot be maintained if the tire valve becomes damaged. If the vehicle
is driven under this condition, the tire air pressure will decr ease which
could result in a serious accident. Do not use any part for the tire valve
cap that is not a Toyota-genuine part.

Maintenance and Care
Inspect the temporary spare tire at least monthly to make sure it is
properly inflated and stored.
The temporary spare tire is easier to handle because of its con struc-
tion which is lighter and smaller than a conventional tire. Thi s tire
should be used only for an emergency and only for a short dista nce.
Use the temporary spare tire o nly until the conventional tire is
repaired, which should be as soon as possible.
Refer to Tires on P. 553.
●The temporary spare tire condition gradually deteriorates even if it has
not been used.
●Tires degrade over time, even when they are not being used on t he
road. It is recommended that tires generally be replaced when t hey are
6 years or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading
conditions can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the
spare tire when you replace the other road tires due to the agi ng of the
spare tire. The period in which the tire was manufactured (both week
and year) is indicated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on P. 522.
Proper tire balancing provides t he best riding comfort and help s
reduce tread wear. Out-of-balance tires can cause vibration and
uneven wear, such as c upping and flat spots.
When replacing a wheel, make sure the new one is the same as th e orig-
inal factory wheel in diameter, rim width, and offset (inset/outset).
For details, contact your Toyota dealer.
Temporary Spare Tire
NOTICE
●Do not use your temporary spare tire rim with a snow tire or a conven-
tional tire. Neither will properly fit and could damage both tire and rim.
●The temporary spare tire has a tread life of less than 3,000 mi les
(5,000 km). The tread life may be shorter depending on driving condi-
tions.
●The temporary spare tire is for limited use, however, if the tr ead wear
solid-band indicator appears, replace the tire with the same ty pe of
temporary spare ( P. 417).

WARNING
■Do not install the temporary spare tire on the front wheels (dr iving
wheels)
Driving with the temporary spare tire on one of the front driving wheels
is dangerous. Handling will be affe cted. You could lose control of the
vehicle, especially on ice or snow bound roads, and have an acc ident.
Move a regular tire to the front wheel and install the temporar y spare tire
to the rear.
